Spa pool is not a spa pool, there are no jets, in the king studio. Its a tub with thermal water. But its hot, you can add what tempeture you like. King bed is hard. Thermal pools are really nice, there are 5, all at different tempetures. It was a great and relaxing motel. Very close to the lake, staff are awesome and friendly.

Absolutely stunning property! The concierge helped us plan activities that were incredible! HIGHLY recommend the Koala experience, the Ultimate Penfold's Experience, and the RM Williams Experience (was unexpectedly AWESOME!!). Food was outstanding and the staff was super friendly. Wine selection was exceptional as well.

Great location, clean room and great staff. Left a car parked for a few hours and when we returned to leave for home they came out and told me I’d left something in the room and gave it back to me. I’d happily stay again, thanks!
